These people didn't care when RBG wore her 'dissent' collar the day after Trump won in 2016. Oh no, that was fine, as she sat in on cases involving TRump.

Now a lot of nonsense over nothing and these clowns demand a meeting with the Chief Justice. He should politely flip them off.

Talk about interfering in the courts, that is exactly what the continuing Democrat War on the Supreme Court is. A sort of low level terrorism.

And now the very flag which George Washington once authorized angers them.

How much more do you need to realize how much Democrats hate America when they lose their minds over a flag used by George Washington on navy ships during the Revolution.



The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee has sent a letter to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. demanding he meet with him to discuss the Supreme Court’s “ethics crisis” and the need for Justice Samuel A. Alito’s recusal from pending cases.

Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, Illinois Democrat, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Rhode Island Democrat, said in a four-page letter that the latest reports of Justice Alito flying two flags at his homes which were also displayed by Jan. 6 rioters ran afoul of ethics guidelines.

“By displaying the upside-down and ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flags outside his homes, Justice Alito actively engaged in political activity, failed to avoid the appearance of impropriety, and failed to act in a manner that promotes public confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary. He also created reasonable doubt about his impartiality and his ability to fairly discharge his duties in cases related to the 2020 presidential election and January 6th attack on the Capitol. His recusal in these matters is both necessary and required,” wrote the senators.

The New York Times reported that Justice Alito flew an “Appeal to Heaven” flag at his Long Beach Island, New Jersey, vacation home in 2023.

The Times called the flag, which dates from the American Revolution, a symbol for “a more Christian-minded government” and also was carried on Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol riot.

In 1968, the Pine Tree flag, or "Washington's Cruisers Flag," was featured in the 6¢ Historic American Flags postage stamp series printed by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. During this printing, over 228,000,000 examples of the Pine Tree flag stamp were produced.

Separate but equal. Go fuck yourself, democrats.
 


Let's get this straight.

Two leading Senate Judiciary Democrats are sending an ex parte letter to a judge on pending cases before a court.

Then they leak their letter to one of their political allies.

@SenWhitehouse and @SenatorDurbin didn't follow the normal procedures, including filing a public pleading through the court clerk's office that gets posted to the public docket.

They didn't copy the counsel for the parties.

They're demanding the recusal of another judge.

They're even demanding a private meeting with a judge on pending cases.

And these Senate Judiciary Democrats are threatening the court with punitive actions, if the court doesn't do what they demand.

Sheldon Whitehouse has outdone himself with his insane, unethical behavior.Dick Durbin should be ashamed he went along with this.

And if Whitehouse and Durbin believe Trump shouldn't have presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for his official acts, do they believe the Trump 47 Justice Department should charge them with obstruction of justice for their highly inappropriate letter to the Supreme Court on the pending Fischer and Trump presidential immunity cases?

Because some people had this flag on Jan 6th, how does that translate to the justice having to recuse himself from all trump cases????
 
Justices wives are not allowed to have political opinions. Where do you think you are, the United States of America???
